Today is Friday, 12 August 2022.
I am very happy not to be someone today. The person I am happy not to be is former president Donald J. Trump. He’s having a rough week, and it will likely get even worse today.
There’s going to be a lot of speculation about the documents and materials that were seized from his residence at Mar-a-Lago. There is already some mention of certain “subjects” being floated by the press, most notably, the Washington Post mentioned in their report that some of the documents the FBI was seeking dealt with nuclear secrets.
Holy crap.
This is pretty damn insane.
Secrets for sale.
I really don’t want to speculate further. The imagination just can’t turn off over this sort of thing.
On the news, one attorney from the DOJ just made the comment, “there are classified documents, and then there are CLASSIFIED documents”.
I have some friends that served in the military, both in the US military, and military of other countries. Off the top of my head, I know I have friends that served in Canada, Israel, Australia, Jordan, Sweden, and India. I’m guessing the rules for the handling of classified documents are pretty universal.
This is going to be a bonkers news day.
Tomorrow’s blog post will probably have a little more detail. The DOJ will release the information in the warrant this afternoon unless Trump’s lawyers block it. Trump is publicly saying he wants it released. I’ll bet he’ll eventually try to stop it “as advised by his legal council”.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
